Qooker boiling water tap
Discussion
Has anyone installed one of these? Are they any good? Gadget or good idea? I'm looking at a domestic install, so not wanting to make 100's of brews/hour.

Must be expensive as there is no price!
For some reason the mobile site is showing. But yes, it's very pricey and I'm sure even more so to run!http://www.quookershop.co.uk/order
£830 minimum! Ouch!
Yes, they're good - I'm sat drinking tea from one now 
Tastes fine. Plus it's filtered inside the unit as well.
Supposedly cheaper to run than a kettle - not convinced on that - but it's way easier than waiting.
In an office environment I can see a company making quite a saving - staff are back at their desks with a brew instead of stood in the kitchen staring at a slowly boiling kettle.
Boil veggies - filled from the quooker means you'll get the pan boiling almost as soon as the pan hits the hob.
Dirty knife - run it under the tap and it's clean.
Rinse out a cooking dish - most of the congealed fat just disappears down the drain.
Braided hoses, neat design and decent build - the Insinkerator/Franke stuff is just junk in comparison, and doesn't get the water quite as hot IME. And Zip taps are ££££. And huge.
It does 'leak' though - every time the unit reheats as the water expands it dribbles a small amount of water past the relief valve to drain. This upsets my inner eco-warrior
from me.

Not good for tea, where water needs to be freshly boiled.
Is that not what it does??We bought one prior to my wife having a baby, we must have saved hours of our lives with the amount of bottles we have got through not having to wait for the kettle to boil!
Worth every penny in my book for the above alone, not to mention all the other reasons already mentioned, a great gadget, one that actually gets used too!
